Skipping may be the best option.

From past experience, Initiations have a pretty good chance of turning into an outright slog if we can't power through it quickly.

Okay, you know what?

I've had a bad day. I'm weakened, tired, and I was feeling conciliatory for the last few hours because the notion came to me for a while that I can do nothing good of my own work.

But right now I am summoning that last pathetic bit of my resistant willpower to say: I am going to sleep on this decision. And when I wake up, I am going to make a decision and take fucking charge of this RP.

So, uh, good night, I guess. Sorry if anyone feels like I'm yelling at them. I'm not. I just want my day to be over, so much.

So what, are we just going to skip over anything that involves fights because it has potential to turn into a slog? Everything has potential to turn into a slog if the GM doesn't post frequently enough.

I would suggest that for initiation each team only fights one Grimm opponent for the entire initiation.

I'd instead just suggest something new, you saw the shitstorm that happened when you repeated other stuff earlier on. Skipping Initiation is defs one solution.

Initiation is a good time for the teams to establish how their members treat each other, how they work together, and what their roles are, which is something I would rather not arbitrarily decide in the discussion thread or whatever. If we aren't having an initiation like Ultimate/Next something with a similar role should take its place.

Insano is still asking if you all want him to make the pairs, or if you all can simply arrange yourselves. Team WNTR's pairs have already been decided.

...Waiting on Grim.

Personally, I think it'd be more entertaining for it to be a surprise for all those involved.

I agree with E-bro

I'd prefer a surprise. Even if Insano, Stormer, and Zenith all have preferences Rey would get along horribly with any of those characters so I have no preference.

Well, Wayne and Tempestas being paired up is already set in stone, and by extension, Rey gets partnered up with the "little shit".

Insano now says that anyone who wants to partner up can do so now, and he'll arrange the rest.

...Where the flip is Grim?

Won't be back till Easter I think

Cause religion

So it begins.

A note: aside from conditions that I introduce, the terms of combat are up to you.

Pairs incoming. Is anyone trying to arrange one, or is everyone alright with me arranging them?

Picking pairs isn't a terrible idea.

On that note, anyone want their dude to tag-team with Gerhart?

I assume we will have to be paired with people from our car? Or is that not required?

Because if not, I kinda would like Nessie to go either with Gerhart or with any Faunus available. Or Gareth if we want her to suffer.

A Nemesis and Gerhart team would actually be really interesting in my humble opinion.

Well, I'd be all down for that then. :)

We have to be paired with people from our car. Remember Insano's insistence on making sure our characters had certain letters in our name?

Well, that's a load of bull if you ask me.

But alright. Can't say I like it, but I suppose there are some viable options left.

Hm, who to partner Bao with? Ideally someone she won't get along with, because it's more fun if everyone hates each other.

I'm guessing that out of her team she would have the biggest trouble with Imca's girl(I forgot her name ;^;), since she's a subservient Faunus, something that Bao would probably dislike immensely.

Yeah, Team WNTR is already set with Wayne/Tempestas and Reymond/Kraken.

Didn't Aqua ask Grim if Vlad could pair up with Gareth? Has anyone else arranged pairings yet?

Yeah, I did. He said yes.

Cool. That settles Team SMMR then, I believe.
